Skills & Strategies for Proficient Writing
In this 60-minute webinar on Oct 9, Joan Sedita presented “The Writing Rope: A Framework for Evidence-Based Writing Instruction." a model that clearly identifies the skills and strategies essential for proficient writing—Critical Thinking; Syntax; Text Structure; Writing Craft; and Transcription. With a nod to Hollis Scarborough’s famous “Reading Rope,” Sedita showed how reading and writing instruction should be integrated to support reading comprehension, improve students’ writing ability, and help students learn content from all subjects.
